Dislike (Ch.484)

"Your expression changed for a brief moment there, it passed quickly but I saw it..." Xenon accused knowingly.

"You are seeing things." Neveah countered sharply.

Neveah retreated away from Xenon's intense gaze, turning around so she faced the opposite direction, the direction in which her horse had run off to,

And as Xenon's breaths sounded closer, she wondered if she should have done the very same as her horse when she had the chance.

'If you cannot tell him, shall I do it for you?' Neveah's wolf who was mostly silent in recent times finally broke her silence and offered the most unwanted aid.

'There is nothing to tell!' Neveah thought back to her wolf sternly.

"Fine, I will let it go for now. So do not look away from me." Xenon conceded, tugging Neveah's arm so she would return her attention to him.
